Beto Martinez and Adrian Quesada were the guitarists of Latin rock/salsa group Grupo Fantasma. Also, the bass player Greg Gonzalez, trumpeter Gilbert Elorreaga and Josh Levy were the trumpet players. They also played in a funk band in Austin, TX called the Blimp. Quesada suggested that a funk band be formed in 2003, just before Grupo’s Movimiento Pop was released. This was mainly for the purpose of playing covers and having fun. Taking inspiration from Santana, Earth and Wind
